4. The Basics

You have purchased a powerful phone, with lots of

features. Read this section for some very basic

information on how to use your phone.

A more comprehensive description of your phone is

covered in “Your Phone A to Z” starting on page22.

Switching the phone on and off

Press and hold the key for two seconds to switch the

phone on or off.

Switching off with the key

Quickly press the key (Switch off! will appear,

highlighted) then press OK.

Note: TIPS ON EFFICIENT OPERATION: As with any other radio

transmitting device, do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when

the phone is switched on. Contact with the antenna affects call

quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level

than otherwise needed.

Note: WARNING! Do not switch on the phone when wireless

phone use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or

danger.

Note: See “Safety At A Glance” on page5 for more information.

Getting a strong signal

Your phone operates on radio waves, and the quality of

radio reception depends on the strength of the radio

signal in your area. This radio coverage is maintained by

a wireless network and the quality of calls on a wireless

phone depends on the strength of the wireless radio

signal.

If your phone does not detect service at power up, the

message Searching for service will be displayed. The

phone will continue to search for available service for 15

minutes, at which time it will display No service if none

is found.
